French Holly

French Holly (26 March 1991 – 5 November 1999) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in National Hunt racing. During a racing career which lasted from February 1996 until October 1999 he won ten of his twenty races and was placed on six occasions. He won two of his six flat races before switching to hurdling in the autumn of 1997. He was unbeaten as a novice winning five races including the Tolworth Hurdle and Royal & SunAlliance Novices' Hurdle. In the following year he won the Christmas Hurdle but then sustained three consecutive defeats when matched against the reigning Champion Hurdler Istabraq. He was then sent to France where he defeated a strong field in the Prix La Barka before finishing fourth in the French Champion Hurdle. He won his first and only steeplechase in October 1999 but was killed in a training accident seven days later.
==Background==
French Holly was an unusually large, powerful, bay gelding standing 18 hands high with no white markings bred in Kentucky by Mario Sakurai. He was sired by Sir Ivor, and American-bred colt whose wins included the Epsom Derby in 1968 before becoming a successful breeding stallion whose other progeny included the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Ivanjica and the American Champion Older Male Horse Bates Motel. French Holly came from a very strong Flat racing family: his dam, Sans Dot was a daughter of the Epsom Oaks winner Juliette Marny and a close relative of the classic winners Julio Mariner (St Leger Stakes) and Scintillate. Sans Dot later produced Deano's Beeno who won thirteen races including the Grade I Long Walk Hurdle.
In November 1991, French Holly (already gelded) was sent as a foal to the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall mixed sale where he was sold for $2,000 to David Mullins. He was later bought privately by Kieren Flood and was sent into training with Ferdy Murphy at Leyburn, North Yorkshire.
French Holly was not particularly adept at jumping obstacles, relying on his size and strength to compensate. In 1998 Ferdy Murphy said of him: "When he's out in front like that he doesn't bother shortening up at a hurdle, he just goes and kicks them out of the way and goes straight through. He's so big he gets away with it. A smaller horse might hurt himself".〔
